In the ongoing legal battle between HYBE and ADOR CEO Min Hee Jin, a recent court ruling favored Min Hee Jin’s injunction against HYBE. While netizens celebrated the outcome, NewJeans member Minji also made a subtle statement.
Despite the tension, NewJeans members have continued connecting with fans through the Phoning app. Minji, in particular, sent reassuring messages to Bunnies (NewJeans’ fanbase) during the uncertain times.
On the day of the verdict, a fan messaged Minji on Phoning, expressing support for NewJeans’ performance at the Sejong University Festival. In response, Minji playfully wrote: “Sejong… University~~ Dongkuk University~~~ Fighting! Haha.”
Fan: Sejong University~~~Festival fighting!!!
Minji: Sejong~~~University~ Dongkuk University ~~~ Fighting. Haha
Netizens quickly caught on to the clever wordplay. By separating “University” from “Sejong,” Minji seemed to reference Min Hee Jin’s court victory. Sejong is also the name of Min Hee Jin’s legal representative in the case.
Korean fans praised Minji for her witty response. One post on TheQoo gained significant attention, with nearly 80,000 views and over 500 comments.
“Cute, LOL.” “This is hilarious. The only one not laughing is probably Bang Si Hyuk?” [Comment deleted] “Too cute, LOOL.” “Minji’s got guts!” | theqoo “Kongji has won! LOL. The more I see Minji, the more charming she becomes.” “Minji fighting! NewJeans fighting!!” “LOOOL. That’s right. A goddess.” “I absolutely love this, LOL.” “Minji fighting!” “Sejong… University… victory.”
